F1s In The Sunshine On April Fools Day.

 Morning all, My fishing mojo has dissapeared once more, I have not been since last September!!!!!! With the clocks going forward and extra time one the bank I chose to go to a local commercial that a friend of mine owns. Fishing the Match Lake I opted to rotate 3, close range swims at: 9 o'clock 12 o'clock 3 o'clock to give the swims a rest after catching a few fish. Float used was a small, hand made, shallow water stick float or dibber if you are fishng still waters, coupled with a Bob James Centerpin and a 15 foot Drenen DRX rod. After intoducing some micro pellets to each swim I started off on sweetcorn which produced a few small F1s but bites quickly dried up.  Next to to try was banded pellet, again, I had a few fish then the bites dried up. I was 50 minutes into a 2.5 hours session now and only had 6 fish.....and not very pleased with my performance!!!! My last bait to try was home made paste, a bait I have used more frequently, with great success over the last three...
